Allow session_client to take the same args as make_client

make_client is a great, simple yet flexible way to get a fully featured
Client object. simple_client is similar for Session objects, but lacks
the argparse and arbitrary kwargs that make_client - plus it has a weird
name. Since adding those two features to make_client did not make it too
confusing - do the same for simple_client. Also, rename it to
session_client (with a backwards-compat alias) and add it to the README
docs.

In the process of doing this, extract the "get me a cloud config"
functinality into an additional helper function - get_config.

+Constructing Mounted Session Objects
+------------------------------------
+
+What if you want to make direct REST calls via a Session interface? You're
+in luck. The same interface for `make_client` is supported for `session_client`
+and will return you a keystoneauth Session object that is mounted on the
+endpoint for the service you're looking for.
